(VOV) – The north-central province of Thanh Hoa is stepping up the evacuation of nearly 45,000 residents from coastal areas before typhoon Haiyan is forecast to make landfall late on November 10.
The evacuation order was released by the provincial Committee for Flood and Storm Prevention and Control at 08.00am following news Haiyan is likely to batter the north-central region instead of the central coast.
Residents in Quang Xuong, Tinh Gia, Sam Son, Hoang Hoa, Hau Loc and Nga Son were ordered to move to safe areas.
Thirteen task forces have fanned out to high-risk areas to help with evacuation due to be completed at 06.00pm the same day.
Police and military forces are not put on standby to deal with the worst possible scenarios.
